At www.download.com I located PHP Triad, but I'm a bit nervous, although the overall ratings for the package are high. Here are my concerns: 1) Some people couldn't install it all. 2) Apparently it MUST be installed on drive C. While I have over 500 MB in C:,

       it's merely my boot drive in a multi-boot installation. I

normally boot to my

       WinXP partition. I'd rather install it elsewhere.

3) I do want to install it under Win XP. 4) I already have MySQL installed, and I'm guessing that it's a later version. Do any of these represent serious barriers to installing PHP Triad?

another WAMP that i use is www.foxserv.net. they use apache 2.0 and a 4.2.x php. forget the mysql version. but why not install it yourself. php requires about 3-4 lines added to apache's conf file. php requires maybe 2-3 mods in the it's ini file. mysql is a no brainer install... i recently upgraded my foxserv install by doing each one manually. after a few hours of almost killing myself, i got it down to about 15 minutes. that's total for all 3. i didnt want to go through foxserv since they install perl and a few others i didnt want. (plus the first time, it nearly killed my programming machine...). -- Leo G. Divinagracia III ldivinag@csuhayward.edu zzzzz
